NEW YORK, United States  -  The New York International Auto Show has opened with a mix of mainstream sedans and glitzier models from automakers across the globe.

With a nod to everyday-car buyers, a handful of new mid-size sedans and hatches are being introduced, including the Malibu from Chevrolet and the Optima from Kia. Honda has kept its auto show offering under wraps but the expectation is for a new Civic compact. The youth-orientated Scion (not available in SA) brand is showing off its first sedan.

Lovers of luxury and performance won't be disappointed. Among the introductions are the 2016 Lexus RX, the country's most popular luxury SUV, and the McLaren 570S, a high-performance sports car with a Formula 1 heritage but priced at less than $200 000 (the equivalent of R2.3-million).
